@@rosing-ev1kk that's right. That is the reason why i named my channel after him, my profile pic is of him and his mother, and I even upload about him sometimes😀
Ron’s wand was the actual worst wand to have as a hand-me-down. Ash is really attached to its first owner and Ollivander said that the tendency is extreme if the core is unicorn
I would agree. And as far as Neville, his father was powerful through his confidence... Neville was emotionally kept subdued by his grandma (or aunt? ... Drawing a blank here) who raised him after his folks were tortured to the point of insanity. Really sad, but ultimately Neville could maybe have ended up using his father's wand after the battle of Hogwarts. He really stepped into a different "self"... so to speak. 🤘
Thestral Tail Hair is not the only reason why Elder Wand is soo powerful. Dumbledore stated that the Wand is soo powerful bcoz it absorbs the magic and experience from its previous owner. Adding to it, all of the previous owner of the wand are really powerful wizards eg.- Antioch(the first owner), Gellert Grindelwald, Albus Dumbledore, ...etc.
Actually he used more? He used Accio, Lumos, Nox (counterspell to Lumos), the banishment charm (was in a charms class in the book. Don't know if the words were said), Aquamenti, attempted Crucio, Expelliarmus, Expecto Patronum, muffliato, sectumsempra, Rictumsempra (tickling jinx), Wingardium leviosa, levicorpus, libracorpus, Impedimenta, Reducto, Stupefy, Diffindo (on Cedric's bag in Goblet of Fire), Episkey (used on one of the chaser's noses in Harry's 5th? Year. When it was bleeding), Langlock/Silencio, Protego, Reparo, and probably more that I've forgotten. That is more than "like 2" thats 22 and possibly more. You can't base the knowledge of how much magic someone does based on the movies. He used a ton of spells in the books. He did far more magic in them that was implied rather than out right cast. I mean pretty sure he would have had to know more than 22 spells to get through his OWLs and he only failed Divination and History of Magic...the 2 that needed the least amount of wand work. Now just like like MOST humans have favorite brands/ways of doing things so to will Wizards have preferred spells for solving issues. Harry's signature spells seem to be Expecto Patronum and Expelliarmus. But just cause he defaults to those doesn't mean he can't pull up something else to ruin someone's day.
@@vermontvampyre Hell, he got an Outstanding for his Defence OWL. That's a lot of spells he knew and had to produce in order to get that, not counting passing all his other major classes (we'll ignore divination and History... yawn, lol). Yeah, the films are good, but poor at relaying the wealth of information the books have.
Wands choose the wizard yet we've seen many a wand handed down as well, both Ron's and Neville's had wands originally from other family, and improved drastically after getting their own.
@@BastiatC You mean like how Ilvermorny matches each of its students to a wand their first day? >.> Means at Ilvermorny you sink or swim based on your own merit. You can't complain and say "but I'm using mom's old wand!"
@@BastiatC Well ron's family is notoriously poor so maybe wands are somewhat expensive. considering wizards keep them for life if they can help it, they are probably brought infrequently so it would make sense for wandmakers to charge a lot for them. Also Olivander only uses rare materials to make his wands so his are probably particularly expensive
@BastiatC That fund is usually for Muggle-borns who have no connection to the magical world from the start. Or magic orphans like Tom Riddle, who are of more pronounced magical descent, but have no connection to the magical world. Ron, being a pure-blood from a family with members working for the ministry, wouldn't get access to that fund.
Something that always annoys me is the whole expelliarmus thing and people thinking that it instantly wins over the wand. People seem to forget that wands are sentient, they might each have different requirements for winning them over or might not do so at all. The Death Stick for example. The most powerful of them all demands an equally powerful user. Naturally it's going to be "easily" won over.
What really bothers me is that Harry was able to win Malfoy's wand. If it had a unicorn hair core, shouldn't it remain loyal to Malfoy instead of swiftly changing allegiance upon being snatched PHYSICALLY WITHOUT MAGIC?
@@slayersingh5064 You'd fucking think that, but lets try to reason it. Maybe it didn't like being used for dark arts because it's unicorn hair so changed allegiences. Maybe the combination of core and wood gives the wand a different personality (Thats what I believe at least).
@@Mussie099 If we go by the wand wood, Hawthorn is described as: "Hawthorn wands may be particularly suited to healing magic, but they are also adept at curses, and I have generally observed that the hawthorn wand seems most at home with a conflicted nature, or with a witch or wizard passing through a period of turmoil." This is more like Draco than Harry. And how is Draco's wand supposed to know that Harry isn't going to use it for Dark Magic? And Harry does use the cruciatus curse to great effect with this wand. So according to the wood and core, the wand should still be loyal to Draco.
@@slayersingh5064 Lol, unicorn hair and hawthorn, one likes dark arts and the other hates it. But to try and answer the questions. Isn't Harry usually going through a period of turmoil (Been a while since I read the books) as for a conflicted nature he's got a piece of Voldemort in him, maybe the wand can sense two personalities, hence a conflicted nature. Maybe because the wand core and wood kinda contradict one another to some degree, it was entirely conflicted on what to do (likely most of the time) and had to make a choice. Better yet, the wand might have split personalities.
In the new game there's also talk about Fairy Wings as a core material in the Ravenclaw House exclusive quest. So there's probably a lot more than just 20 and presumably most magical creature/plant parts could be used as wand cores.
Kind of think Ollivander is trying to discredit other wand makers and insinuating their wands are inferior. A close read of the wand wood section of wizarding world kind of supports this idea. Ollivander is a bit of a snob, and as much of a cutthroat businessman as he is a wand maker.
I think it was hinted at somewhere that all the wand makers are like that. They each think their particular way of making wands is superior to the others and don't like to share techniques and secrets
@@GrimRuler Nah it actually is very fitting for a Ravenclaw to underestimate the abilities of those around them. I'm sure all wand makers believe their way is the best but Olivander literally has a monopoly.
@@moegani6269 No, that is not fitting for a Ravenclaw. Being open-minded is fitting for a Ravenclaw. Also it's likely that either there are many more wand makers in the UK, or most wand makers have a quasi monopoly in their country.
I wouldn't say snob, but just picky. I think the preference comes from the cores he uses being the easiest for him to work with/acquire. I think Kelpie hair being "hard to work with" may also stem from it being hard to get ahold of, as in the HP universe, Kellie are endangered. So him discrediting them may be a way for them to be left alone and not hunted for materials.
Grape vine with veela hair could be a very powerful combo for a part-veela witch or wizard. There are many different aspects to consider, and you did hit pretty much all of it... But.... I like to point out things such as Harry being a descendant of the creator of the DeathStick, as well as Voldie, yet having his soul intact (plus an extra part from Voldie's boo-boo)... That had a lot to do with the allegiance of the wand... The fact that he has the blood of the creator, the fact his soul is noy only whole but also gifted something extra... and the fact that the something extra also comes from a blood-bearer. This means harry's soul would have more right and more command over it than anyone else's... at least once Dumbledore died. The wand will always choose the master of death over the one who claims or possesses it at that moment. . . and harry was the master of death by all rights and means. Things like this must also be considered when talking wand lore, and i think olivander overlooked that in his time making wands. Sure he made lots of powerful wands, but he still didnt have the whole picture. Personal theory is that the Elder wand was wanting Dumbledore to have it when he and Grindewald were together doing their thing. That is why theyhad to have the blood pact. . . . because a fight between them would always be predetermined... Dumbledore could not be killed by the wand his great great (however many greats) grandfather had MADE. There are tons of curious things about the wands that shows us we really need to delve much much deeper to truly begin to understand.
Question: Could a muggle/no-mag with knowledge of the magical world and its workings potentially replicate, perform, or produce facsimiles of some aspects of magic that wouldn't necessarily require the user to be magical? Such as Alchemy, potion making, taming of magical creatures, or spells/charms/rituals that make use of magical items or ingredients that carry their own magic that do not require a wand?
Yes and no. Some things in the wizarding world can be done without magic or a wand, but most things do require the aid of a wizard's magical abilities. As stated by Newt Scamander, muggles have different physiologies than wizards. So yes, you might be able to do some things like potion-making but in the Harry Potter universe, some potions require the use of magic to be done. Also, you may be able to tame magical creatures but certain magical creatures aren't visible to muggles like the dementor to name one. You can attain knowledge from the magical world and may be able to do some things, but if you aren't a wizard, you will not be able to do everything. Now speaking in real life, you can really do things. You can learn to actually use your abilities. Everyone is born with the ability to look and interact beyond this plane, you just have to train yourself and embrace the aspect of that world. In real life, magic is not the same as the wizarding world in Harry Potter.
@@jonathanrodriguez8589 as far as the wizarding world is concerned for things that require magic such as some potions you could instead use a magical object that has its own magic as a substitute for what you lack. A scientific mind within the wizarding world if they had the resources could basically brute force their way through most situations. One could theoretically overcome muggle limitations and "physiology". Ive always thought that the wizarding worlds greatest flaw was ignoring muggle science and not applying it into magic. Magic even though wondrous and capable of things people couldn't imagine is actually outpaced by science in many regards in the wizarding world. This is mostly however because the wizarding world has change very slowly and stagnated due to remaining separate from the majority of humanity.
@@Cwronaga216 YES!! There are also some things in the "real world" that you can use to express your abilities such as Crystal's which are known to aid in whatever it is you're doing with magic. One person in the fiction world that I know to use science is Doctor Frankenstein and I see that as a type of magic. He uses science to achieve various things. His knowledge in science was powerful but like magic, was also limited. You can also use common things like salt or water. Mostly anything you use in real life can be used magically, which is something mentioned but not commonly refered to in the Harry Potter universe such as elemental magic. Divinination was probably one of few things that was actually explained that muggles can also do.
Probably not especially not with European wands as they seem be Charmed to be inert in the hands of a Muggle. American wand keep recoiling in Muggle hands.
It always bugged me the fact that Draco´s wand has Unicorn´s hair core, given how easily changes allegiance when Harry takes it from him. It would make more sense for it to have Dragon Heartstring right?
Draco wasn’t matched with his wand his mother brought him to ollivanders but bought the most expensive wand there, dracos wand worked for him but did not suit his full potential
10", Vine wood, unicorn core, supple flexibility. I was only aware of a few of those cores. I don't know how you manage to come up with fascinating content EVERY SINGLE DAY, but I appreciate it. Big thanks ❤️
IIRC the veela hair in Fleur's wand cord comes from her grandmother, also making Fleur at least quarter Veela. This also adds to her mesmerizingly beautiful appearance.
I wasn't expecting to see a Brazilian folklore mentioned in the canon, happy about that. Curupira, unstable, rare and most likely powerful, makes sense 😁 Abraços do Brasil! 🇧🇷
As the elder wand was an elder wood wand with a thestral tail hair core, I wonder if a wandmaker would ever attempt/achieve making another in the future. Would there be a second deathstick? A wand of second destiny?
I believe that although a second wand made out of these specific items would be extremely powerful, it wouldn’t quite measure up to the power of the Elder wand. This mainly would be due to the fact that the Elder Wand was created by Death itself, and is a physical representation of Death, which in both real world and Harry Potter lore is one of the most powerful spiritual elements known.
Yes, and no. The myth is that death made it.. In reality it was one of the peverrel brothers. The one Dumbledore was descended from. That guy actually was a gifted wand maker. He made a number of elder wands... Many attempts failed... A few succeeded. It takes a wand to make a wand (of that skill level and difficulty) and after much practice and failure, he was finally able to get one hair to align properly and "take"... Hat was the first elder wand. He used it to then make a better wand, which in turn was used to make a better one. 7times of creating an elder wand, 6 made while using an elder wand to make it... The final product was the Death Stick. The runes on there are to bind the magical power of the hair and control / duct the flow of energy. The flattened part on the end is meant to help it rest on the part where palm meets wrist (this is the epicenter for flow of magic from the hands when spellcasting)... Ultimately, it has an actual special ability no one talks about. It specializes in wands.... A wand made for other wands. While most are made to channel a wizard's energy, this is made to make/repair/destroy wands. This means it had the power if command when facing other wands. That and the fact that the wielder almost always gets a major confidence boost (making them more sure of themselves and thus more likely to succeed in the casting as well as all around more power behind it).... (How Harry knew his patronus would work... The confidence of knowing it had already done it...)
The Elder Wand is the only Wand in the Harry Potter Universe made out of 3 parts (as far as i know.) Wands are Made of Wood and Core however the Elder Wand is made of Wood,Core and Will. (not official but i call it will). Why the 3rd material ? Death tricked the 3 people which cheated death with items that are in truth meant for killing them. Thats why i call it "Will" because it is the Will of Death to bring death. Its a cursed Wand and sooner or later the owner will eventualy die. Take Dumbeldore as Example: He was killed and targeted mainly because Voldemort wanted his Wand just like all previous owners were killed for it. On top of that Dumbeldore came in contact with a second Cursed Item made by death which resulted in Dumbedore wearing it and being cursed by Voldemords curse on the ring. However deaths Will made him wear it in the first place because even the mighty Dumbeldore couldnt resist it. Nothing is knows about the Cloak as far as i know except that the original wearer also died because of it. So making a second Elder Wand is not possible unless you let Death make another one....good luck with that tho.
There's a saying in the wizarding world about this: Wand of Elder, never prosper. Having an Elder wand is seen as being very dangerous because of its ties to _the_ Elder wand and that you won't get far with one (probably because someone's going to kill you for it thinking it's the Deathstick) so I don't know that many people would mess with that combination, let alone Elder wood.
I think , based on the rest of the lore, that any magical substance can theoretically become a wand core. I'd personally be curious about things like mermaid and centaur hair cores. Anyways, excellent content as usual.
My wand type according to pottermore is walnut, dragon heartstring, 14", supple I believe it would actually end up as either black walnut or holly, maybe 15 to 16 " long, and Phoenix feather or perhaps Thestral (as i have died and been revived more than once..)
@@Hectorhehe So you need to give your true eye colour to get the wand that suites you best. Or you can go and show off the person who's wand you want, but that's not going to be honest.
as an avid wandlore enthusiast I love this video. however it's just the tip of the iceberg for wandlore!! I think it's fair to say theres hundreds of different substances that could be used as wandcores!! it's a very interesting and sometimes debatable topic that harry Potter fans should definitely take the time to look into!
1:49 "Short wands select people whose character lacks in something" Just like Umbridge her wand was pretty short..... UMBRIDGE IS THE WORST PERSON EVER >:)
I got a good idea, Talk about how the Black death has to do with the Wizarding world I'm interested in Medieval ages and this would be a interesting subject 💬👌
I always liked the concept that witches and wizards don't need anything to actually use magic, it's basically just a focus point. I've wondered what would happen if someone made a ring that could channel the magic instead so people could just shoot the magic from their hand
I always liked to believe that there are also hybrid cores, for example: phoenix feather and dragon heart string... And other combinations. Maybe it would be easier to pair them with witches and wizards who are more complex and layered characters. But that's just an idea I had when I started reading the books.
Or too mix and match core ingredients that have some relation. Like thistle hair (im thinking of the death horses) and phoenix feathers. You have to glue them together with some 3rd ingredients or even fourth but theoretically they would be insanely powerful. Maybe fit for staffs.
Newt's wand has a shell at the bottom but its core is still untold. I'd like to believe it has a core from one of his powerful beasts (the thunderbird perhaps) as Newt is capable of a lot of magic with his wand for someone who isn't an auror.
You don't need to be Auror to know many thing in spell to begin with. Because being Auror is about your combat capability and knowledge specialized how to counter the dark art than being fully knowledgeable wizard.
There was indeed a lot of wand cores I've never heard of. I'd like to know more about the different woods as well! My wand is made of Larch wood, with a phoenix feather core. This wood is said to instil courage and confidence in the user, however, this wand is also known to be a trickier one to handle.
Given that dittany is an herb with healing properties, I’m honestly surprised that it wasn’t a popular core for students eventually sorted into Hufflepuff. It seems like it would be rather perfect for them. Makes me surprised that Ollivander was so against its use.
I would think Thunderbird feathers to be even rarer than Phoenix feathers due to Thunderbirds inability to resurrect themselves from their ashes. A single phoenix might be able to produce several feathers suitable for a wand core over its almost infinite lifespan. Whereas a Thunderbird doesn’t do this and once one dies, that’s it. Also in real life mythology the American Thunderbird is fairly sparse just like a phoenix so I’d imagine theirs probably comparable numbers or both bird types.
ive taken a few different wand tests, and the pottermore one twice, i got Cypress wood with a unicorn hair core, 10 ¾" and rigid flexibility and Elm wood with a unicorn hair core, 11 ¼" and quite bendy flexibility from the pottermore ones. another that gave all the info gave " ash with a snallygaster heartstring 11" rigid "
with all the different magical creatures in the world of Harry Potter, I am surprised there isn't more. Like taking a hair from a Niffler, might bring a person great wealth or might bring them great loss of wealth. Either way I would think a Niffler Hair would be a cool wand core, and the Hippogriff, would be an awesome wand core as well, very loyal to those that show respect, and I would think highly intelligent wands from the Hippogriff, And lets see, The Manticore, That might produce some interesting wands as well. There are just so many
To be fair, these 20 wand cores only seem to represent what is available to wizards in Europe, North America and Brazil. But what about wizards in Asia, Africa, Australia or the rest of Latin America? Surely there are more magical creatures from which to select a suitable core from for the witches and wizards living in these places. So worldwide there really must be well over 20 types of wand cores.
I think there could be a far greater number of core types. Any mythical, magical or powerful beast or even substance could be deployed to interact with a caster's inner abilities.
Pretty sure dragon heart string is universal. Every world mythology has at least one mention of a dragon in it from Tiamat from Mesopotamia/ Babylonian to the Piassa of Louisiana in America
My wand is cherry wood with Phoenix Feather, although personal head-cannon is Thunderbird Feather, it's 11" and quite bendy flexibility. I loved being able to see it in Hogwarts Legacy and have it in the natural wood style with the warm wooden spiral handle which matches the rest of the wand perfectly!
Mine was 12¼" Acacia wood with a Phoenix Feather. Unyielding. Meaning no one would be able to win it from me, as Acacia and Phoenix Feather are both choosy materials, and Acacia wood wands often simply refuse to work for anyone other than their master or mistress, so no other witch or wizard would even be able to use it lol.
Curious if one used a Dementor's hair or wrapping as a core, obviously dark wizard, but would be interesting to find out what each core would do if they came from creatures or entities not listed, and I bet there's Banshees as well that could be used for cores.
Going by how ordinary shell can be used a wand core, I’m guessing that any ordinary bone can be used as a core too and not just bones of magical creatures or humans. Going by this, I wonder what would happen if a muggle who is very knowledgeable about the magical world, were to make a wand for himself/herself using one of their own bones as a core? Say he/she lost their pinky toe in an accident but they used the bone inside to make a wand. Would the wand still knock the muggle backwards or would it allow the person to wave it and use it because the wand is quite literally an extension and a part of the muggle? Granted even if it didn’t kickback against him/her nothing would probably still happen because a wand is just a tool to channel magic from the magical human/creature. And if that human has no magic in them then a wand is just a stick.
I’ve began getting back into Harry Potter as of late and seeing these videos got me thinking what I’d want in a want, and it’s a bit outlandish but I’m also going for a more cool factor: twin wands both at 20 inches in length, blackthorn wood and dragon cores, I’d be one hell of a duelist
The Phoenix core also gives an idea in how voldamorts wand and Harry's wand can cast the spells they do non verbally now to be clear I am aware that non verbal magic is a thing but you could also argue that because of the cores they share they can act on their own to some degree and cast the spells they know their masters would
There are more such as acromantula webWands made with an acromantula web core are illegal in Britain, and will be confiscated by the authorities most of the time (see the exception). The owner of such a wand has excellent abilities with Dark magic (in particular, the Imperius Curse).
One core I added for one of my fanfics is Fulgerite- Fused glass created by a lightning strike. Fulgurite is not particularly good: It's fragile and not particularly powerful, but it's often found in ancient wands. Thus it's a good thing to include because Wizard Archaeology is something Hogwarts needs.
Ive made up wands such as Demiguise hair and California Holly made by an Hispanic wandmaker in East Los Angeles. This wand is excellent for concealments such as the Disillusionment Charm.
laurel wood handle, grapevine wood spiral shaft, 14 " , handle is a starburst emerald , copper vain coated wood, with bronze stingray skin grip , coper adjoining rings, and black coral adjoining piece before a dark teal stained shaft, Duel core : Chimera scale and Demiguise hair
This was a wonderful 'educational ' video. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to the wand wood ones. Will you also be elaborating on the wand length?
I have unicorn hair. I was a bit disappointed because although it’s thé least likely to turn to dark arts, it can be used up and have to change. That means the fit wouldn’t be the same after a few years. Is there a video on wand woods? Mine is apple wood
Applewood wands are not made in great numbers. They are powerful and best suited to an owner of high aims and ideals, as this wood mixes poorly with Dark magic. It is said that the possessor of an apple wand will be well-loved and long-lived, and I have often noticed that customers of great personal charm find their perfect match in an applewood wand. An unusual ability to converse with other magical beings in their native tongues is often found among apple wand owners, who include the celebrated author of Merpeople: A Comprehensive Guide to Their Language and Customs, Dylan Marwood.
When I took my initial wand quiz on Pottermore, I think it gave me ash wood with a unicorn core. More recently, it gave me a Maplewood wand with a dragon core. It's also 12 and a half inches long with a slightly springy flexibility, apparently
Please can you make a video on wand woods in the near future. Here are my top 5 wand woods ranked: 1. Rowan - for pure hearted; casts nearly unbreakable powerful defensive charms. 2. Apple- for high achievers; rare, very powerful & aversion to dark magic. 3. Acacia-for the most gifted; very unusual only performs magic for destined owner. 4. Elder- marked for a special destiny; Rarest wand wood, abandons owner if they refuse their destiny and calamity ensues. 5. Silver lime-chooses the most spiritual; have natural rare gifts; true seers & legilimens. ***Let me know which are your favorite wand wood
I'd rather have an average wand that would accept me as it's owner rather than having a powerful wand like the elder wand but keeps on rejecting me. Just like Voldemort that keeps getting rejected by the elder wand.
There was a fabric, The Dursley witch where Vernon and Marge are squibs. It also has an OC, Roisien Dursley, who is Dudley's twin sister, a witch, and is sorted to Slytherin House.
I took the wand core type quiz, and it gave me the Elder wand! Cool, yet.... not exactly a wand core type. I guess it kind is... since its the only thestral hair core
With all the magical creatures in the HP universe, I find it hard to believe their are only 20 core types for wands. I mean no thought about using hippogriff feathers? Or what about mermaid scales? Pixie wings?
So the unicorn core is just the exact oppisite from the dragon core. While a dragon core wand can be easly turned to the dark arts the unicorn core is the hardest to turn to the dark arts. While dragon core wands can change allegiance if won from their original master the unicorn core wands will always be strongly attached to their first owner and faithfull. While dragon core wands is the most prone to accidents being somewhat temperamental the unicorn core wands have the most consistent magic, and are least subject to fluctuations and blockages.

Can you imagine if Harry had a horned serpent core? It'd always be singing lol
Haha 😂😂😂 YASS it would have prob given them away in The Deathly Hallows Pt.2 when there are sneaking into Hogwarts
Here we go again
I bet Harry Potter would prefer serpent music over a painful scare.
Imagine Harry Potter as a musical because of his wand
Snakewood (like Salazar) with horned serpent core... Harry would have probably done really well with that...
Thestral Tail Hair is not the only reason why Elder Wand is soo powerful. Dumbledore stated that the Wand is soo powerful bcoz it absorbs the magic and experience from its previous owner. Adding to it, all of the previous owner of the wand are really powerful wizards eg.- Antioch(the first owner), Gellert Grindelwald, Albus Dumbledore, ...etc.
So the One for All of the Wand Academia....
So the Elder Wand is like the Avatar State for wands?
The Elder wand is One for All, and Death is All for One.
That also means it becomes more powerful with every User...
Yeah, sounds like ofa for me.
“Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter theory.”
That should honestly go in a museum
Haha thank-you
No problem
Same with Yer a wizard Arry
*Phoenix Feathers are capable of the widest range of magic*
Harry literally uses like 2 spells throughout the entire series
Actually he used more? He used Accio, Lumos, Nox (counterspell to Lumos), the banishment charm (was in a charms class in the book. Don't know if the words were said), Aquamenti, attempted Crucio, Expelliarmus, Expecto Patronum, muffliato, sectumsempra, Rictumsempra (tickling jinx), Wingardium leviosa, levicorpus, libracorpus, Impedimenta, Reducto, Stupefy, Diffindo (on Cedric's bag in Goblet of Fire), Episkey (used on one of the chaser's noses in Harry's 5th? Year. When it was bleeding), Langlock/Silencio, Protego, Reparo, and probably more that I've forgotten. That is more than "like 2" thats 22 and possibly more. You can't base the knowledge of how much magic someone does based on the movies. He used a ton of spells in the books. He did far more magic in them that was implied rather than out right cast. I mean pretty sure he would have had to know more than 22 spells to get through his OWLs and he only failed Divination and History of Magic...the 2 that needed the least amount of wand work.
Now just like like MOST humans have favorite brands/ways of doing things so to will Wizards have preferred spells for solving issues. Harry's signature spells seem to be Expecto Patronum and Expelliarmus. But just cause he defaults to those doesn't mean he can't pull up something else to ruin someone's day.

Wands choose the wizard yet we've seen many a wand handed down as well, both Ron's and Neville's had wands originally from other family, and improved drastically after getting their own.
Really makes me think Hogwarts should insist on students having their own wand.
@@BastiatC You mean like how Ilvermorny matches each of its students to a wand their first day? >.> Means at Ilvermorny you sink or swim based on your own merit. You can't complain and say "but I'm using mom's old wand!"
@@BastiatC Well ron's family is notoriously poor so maybe wands are somewhat expensive. considering wizards keep them for life if they can help it, they are probably brought infrequently so it would make sense for wandmakers to charge a lot for them. Also Olivander only uses rare materials to make his wands so his are probably particularly expensive
@@extonjonas6820 there's a fund for poor students to buy supplies, which must include a wand, they can't ALL have a half dozen siblings.
@BastiatC That fund is usually for Muggle-borns who have no connection to the magical world from the start. Or magic orphans like Tom Riddle, who are of more pronounced magical descent, but have no connection to the magical world.
Ron, being a pure-blood from a family with members working for the ministry, wouldn't get access to that fund.
Something that always annoys me is the whole expelliarmus thing and people thinking that it instantly wins over the wand. People seem to forget that wands are sentient, they might each have different requirements for winning them over or might not do so at all.
The Death Stick for example. The most powerful of them all demands an equally powerful user. Naturally it's going to be "easily" won over.
What really bothers me is that Harry was able to win Malfoy's wand. If it had a unicorn hair core, shouldn't it remain loyal to Malfoy instead of swiftly changing allegiance upon being snatched PHYSICALLY WITHOUT MAGIC?
@@slayersingh5064 You'd fucking think that, but lets try to reason it.
Maybe it didn't like being used for dark arts because it's unicorn hair so changed allegiences. Maybe the combination of core and wood gives the wand a different personality (Thats what I believe at least).
@@Mussie099 If we go by the wand wood, Hawthorn is described as:
"Hawthorn wands may be particularly suited to healing magic, but they are also adept at curses, and I have generally observed that the hawthorn wand seems most at home with a conflicted nature, or with a witch or wizard passing through a period of turmoil."
This is more like Draco than Harry. And how is Draco's wand supposed to know that Harry isn't going to use it for Dark Magic? And Harry does use the cruciatus curse to great effect with this wand. So according to the wood and core, the wand should still be loyal to Draco.
@@slayersingh5064 Lol, unicorn hair and hawthorn, one likes dark arts and the other hates it.
But to try and answer the questions.
Isn't Harry usually going through a period of turmoil (Been a while since I read the books) as for a conflicted nature he's got a piece of Voldemort in him, maybe the wand can sense two personalities, hence a conflicted nature.
Maybe because the wand core and wood kinda contradict one another to some degree, it was entirely conflicted on what to do (likely most of the time) and had to make a choice. Better yet, the wand might have split personalities.
Ha! Death Stick! I like that!
Is it just me who would Love the Harry Potter universe to go down the stars wars expanded universe route and really expand their universe?
Me too bro. I’m really hoping that the upcoming game kind of kickstarts everything and opens up a flood of untapped wizarding world content!!
if we're talking book wise. they have book meetings when they set up the story arcs up for the different series in the star wars universe.
same
Well, the lore has been expanded greatly during the books but I guess there's always more you can add.
It's an interesting thought but I'm afraid that it would do our core series a disservice.
In the new game there's also talk about Fairy Wings as a core material in the Ravenclaw House exclusive quest. So there's probably a lot more than just 20 and presumably most magical creature/plant parts could be used as wand cores.
Kind of think Ollivander is trying to discredit other wand makers and insinuating their wands are inferior. A close read of the wand wood section of wizarding world kind of supports this idea. Ollivander is a bit of a snob, and as much of a cutthroat businessman as he is a wand maker.
I think it was hinted at somewhere that all the wand makers are like that. They each think their particular way of making wands is superior to the others and don't like to share techniques and secrets
@@GrimRuler Nah it actually is very fitting for a Ravenclaw to underestimate the abilities of those around them. I'm sure all wand makers believe their way is the best but Olivander literally has a monopoly.
@@moegani6269 No, that is not fitting for a Ravenclaw. Being open-minded is fitting for a Ravenclaw. Also it's likely that either there are many more wand makers in the UK, or most wand makers have a quasi monopoly in their country.
I also imagine he’s an old man stuck in his ways. Albeit he has talent
I wouldn't say snob, but just picky. I think the preference comes from the cores he uses being the easiest for him to work with/acquire. I think Kelpie hair being "hard to work with" may also stem from it being hard to get ahold of, as in the HP universe, Kellie are endangered. So him discrediting them may be a way for them to be left alone and not hunted for materials.
Grape vine with veela hair could be a very powerful combo for a part-veela witch or wizard. There are many different aspects to consider, and you did hit pretty much all of it... But.... I like to point out things such as Harry being a descendant of the creator of the DeathStick, as well as Voldie, yet having his soul intact (plus an extra part from Voldie's boo-boo)... That had a lot to do with the allegiance of the wand... The fact that he has the blood of the creator, the fact his soul is noy only whole but also gifted something extra... and the fact that the something extra also comes from a blood-bearer. This means harry's soul would have more right and more command over it than anyone else's... at least once Dumbledore died. The wand will always choose the master of death over the one who claims or possesses it at that moment. . . and harry was the master of death by all rights and means. Things like this must also be considered when talking wand lore, and i think olivander overlooked that in his time making wands. Sure he made lots of powerful wands, but he still didnt have the whole picture. Personal theory is that the Elder wand was wanting Dumbledore to have it when he and Grindewald were together doing their thing. That is why theyhad to have the blood pact. . . . because a fight between them would always be predetermined... Dumbledore could not be killed by the wand his great great (however many greats) grandfather had MADE. There are tons of curious things about the wands that shows us we really need to delve much much deeper to truly begin to understand.
8:22 “stupid creatures” made me laugh so hard 😂🤣
Question: Could a muggle/no-mag with knowledge of the magical world and its workings potentially replicate, perform, or produce facsimiles of some aspects of magic that wouldn't necessarily require the user to be magical? Such as Alchemy, potion making, taming of magical creatures, or spells/charms/rituals that make use of magical items or ingredients that carry their own magic that do not require a wand?
Yes and no. Some things in the wizarding world can be done without magic or a wand, but most things do require the aid of a wizard's magical abilities. As stated by Newt Scamander, muggles have different physiologies than wizards. So yes, you might be able to do some things like potion-making but in the Harry Potter universe, some potions require the use of magic to be done. Also, you may be able to tame magical creatures but certain magical creatures aren't visible to muggles like the dementor to name one. You can attain knowledge from the magical world and may be able to do some things, but if you aren't a wizard, you will not be able to do everything. Now speaking in real life, you can really do things. You can learn to actually use your abilities. Everyone is born with the ability to look and interact beyond this plane, you just have to train yourself and embrace the aspect of that world. In real life, magic is not the same as the wizarding world in Harry Potter.
@@jonathanrodriguez8589 as far as the wizarding world is concerned for things that require magic such as some potions you could instead use a magical object that has its own magic as a substitute for what you lack. A scientific mind within the wizarding world if they had the resources could basically brute force their way through most situations. One could theoretically overcome muggle limitations and "physiology". Ive always thought that the wizarding worlds greatest flaw was ignoring muggle science and not applying it into magic. Magic even though wondrous and capable of things people couldn't imagine is actually outpaced by science in many regards in the wizarding world. This is mostly however because the wizarding world has change very slowly and stagnated due to remaining separate from the majority of humanity.
@@Cwronaga216 YES!! There are also some things in the "real world" that you can use to express your abilities such as Crystal's which are known to aid in whatever it is you're doing with magic. One person in the fiction world that I know to use science is Doctor Frankenstein and I see that as a type of magic. He uses science to achieve various things. His knowledge in science was powerful but like magic, was also limited. You can also use common things like salt or water. Mostly anything you use in real life can be used magically, which is something mentioned but not commonly refered to in the Harry Potter universe such as elemental magic. Divinination was probably one of few things that was actually explained that muggles can also do.
That's an interesting idea. Especially the aspect of Alchemy.
Probably not especially not with European wands as they seem be Charmed to be inert in the hands of a Muggle. American wand keep recoiling in Muggle hands.
It always bugged me the fact that Draco´s wand has Unicorn´s hair core, given how easily changes allegiance when Harry takes it from him. It would make more sense for it to have Dragon Heartstring right?
Or the wand sensed Draco going down a dark path and decided to not follow him there
@@lucasiglesias1894 I like that one
@@lucasiglesias1894 That would make alot more sense
Draco wasn’t matched with his wand his mother brought him to ollivanders but bought the most expensive wand there, dracos wand worked for him but did not suit his full potential

You should deffinatly discuss the different types of wand woods next.
10", Vine wood, unicorn core, supple flexibility. I was only aware of a few of those cores. I don't know how you manage to come up with fascinating content EVERY SINGLE DAY, but I appreciate it. Big thanks ❤️
IIRC the veela hair in Fleur's wand cord comes from her grandmother, also making Fleur at least quarter Veela. This also adds to her mesmerizingly beautiful appearance.
I wasn't expecting to see a Brazilian folklore mentioned in the canon, happy about that. Curupira, unstable, rare and most likely powerful, makes sense 😁
Abraços do Brasil! 🇧🇷
As the elder wand was an elder wood wand with a thestral tail hair core, I wonder if a wandmaker would ever attempt/achieve making another in the future.
Would there be a second deathstick? A wand of second destiny?
Good point!
I believe that although a second wand made out of these specific items would be extremely powerful, it wouldn’t quite measure up to the power of the Elder wand.
This mainly would be due to the fact that the Elder Wand was created by Death itself, and is a physical representation of Death, which in both real world and Harry Potter lore is one of the most powerful spiritual elements known.
Yes, and no. The myth is that death made it.. In reality it was one of the peverrel brothers. The one Dumbledore was descended from. That guy actually was a gifted wand maker. He made a number of elder wands... Many attempts failed... A few succeeded. It takes a wand to make a wand (of that skill level and difficulty) and after much practice and failure, he was finally able to get one hair to align properly and "take"... Hat was the first elder wand. He used it to then make a better wand, which in turn was used to make a better one. 7times of creating an elder wand, 6 made while using an elder wand to make it... The final product was the Death Stick. The runes on there are to bind the magical power of the hair and control / duct the flow of energy. The flattened part on the end is meant to help it rest on the part where palm meets wrist (this is the epicenter for flow of magic from the hands when spellcasting)... Ultimately, it has an actual special ability no one talks about. It specializes in wands.... A wand made for other wands. While most are made to channel a wizard's energy, this is made to make/repair/destroy wands. This means it had the power if command when facing other wands. That and the fact that the wielder almost always gets a major confidence boost (making them more sure of themselves and thus more likely to succeed in the casting as well as all around more power behind it).... (How Harry knew his patronus would work... The confidence of knowing it had already done it...)
The Elder Wand is the only Wand in the Harry Potter Universe made out of 3 parts (as far as i know.)
Wands are Made of Wood and Core however the Elder Wand is made of Wood,Core and Will. (not official but i call it will).
Why the 3rd material ?
Death tricked the 3 people which cheated death with items that are in truth meant for killing them. Thats why i call it "Will" because it is the Will of Death to bring death. Its a cursed Wand and sooner or later the owner will eventualy die.
Take Dumbeldore as Example:
He was killed and targeted mainly because Voldemort wanted his Wand just like all previous owners were killed for it. On top of that Dumbeldore came in contact with a second Cursed Item made by death which resulted in Dumbedore wearing it and being cursed by Voldemords curse on the ring. However deaths Will made him wear it in the first place because even the mighty Dumbeldore couldnt resist it. Nothing is knows about the Cloak as far as i know except that the original wearer also died because of it.
So making a second Elder Wand is not possible unless you let Death make another one....good luck with that tho.
There's a saying in the wizarding world about this: Wand of Elder, never prosper. Having an Elder wand is seen as being very dangerous because of its ties to _the_ Elder wand and that you won't get far with one (probably because someone's going to kill you for it thinking it's the Deathstick) so I don't know that many people would mess with that combination, let alone Elder wood.
The Horned Serpent Wand is basically if a Sneakoscope was a wand.
I think , based on the rest of the lore, that any magical substance can theoretically become a wand core. I'd personally be curious about things like mermaid and centaur hair cores. Anyways, excellent content as usual.
My wand type according to pottermore is walnut, dragon heartstring, 14", supple
I believe it would actually end up as either black walnut or holly, maybe 15 to 16 " long, and Phoenix feather or perhaps Thestral (as i have died and been revived more than once..)
You can’t just pick the wand you like
@@Hectorhehe So you need to give your true eye colour to get the wand that suites you best. Or you can go and show off the person who's wand you want, but that's not going to be honest.

I got a good idea,

I'm interested in Medieval ages and this would be a interesting subject 💬👌
I can't explain how badly I wanted to watch this video. Thank you Harry Potter Theory ❤️❤️
I always liked the concept that witches and wizards don't need anything to actually use magic, it's basically just a focus point. I've wondered what would happen if someone made a ring that could channel the magic instead so people could just shoot the magic from their hand
I bet it would take the wizards finger off
Wandless magic is already a thing so it wouldn't be a stretch
I always liked to believe that there are also hybrid cores, for example: phoenix feather and dragon heart string... And other combinations. Maybe it would be easier to pair them with witches and wizards who are more complex and layered characters. But that's just an idea I had when I started reading the books.
If that happened they would probably be very powerful and maybe explode ( just my thoughts)
Or too mix and match core ingredients that have some relation. Like thistle hair (im thinking of the death horses) and phoenix feathers.
You have to glue them together with some 3rd ingredients or even fourth but theoretically they would be insanely powerful. Maybe fit for staffs.
Ur videos r so addictive, If I had the time I would littraly watch them all in 1 day😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for all these videos! I've been binge watching and it's fascinating
Newt's wand has a shell at the bottom but its core is still untold. I'd like to believe it has a core from one of his powerful beasts (the thunderbird perhaps) as Newt is capable of a lot of magic with his wand for someone who isn't an auror.
You don't need to be Auror to know many thing in spell to begin with. Because being Auror is about your combat capability and knowledge specialized how to counter the dark art than being fully knowledgeable wizard.

There was indeed a lot of wand cores I've never heard of. I'd like to know more about the different woods as well!
My wand is made of Larch wood, with a phoenix feather core.
This wood is said to instil courage and confidence in the user, however, this wand is also known to be a trickier one to handle.
Given that dittany is an herb with healing properties, I’m honestly surprised that it wasn’t a popular core for students eventually sorted into Hufflepuff. It seems like it would be rather perfect for them. Makes me surprised that Ollivander was so against its use.
I would think Thunderbird feathers to be even rarer than Phoenix feathers due to Thunderbirds inability to resurrect themselves from their ashes. A single phoenix might be able to produce several feathers suitable for a wand core over its almost infinite lifespan. Whereas a Thunderbird doesn’t do this and once one dies, that’s it. Also in real life mythology the American Thunderbird is fairly sparse just like a phoenix so I’d imagine theirs probably comparable numbers or both bird types.
Ebony wood with a dragon heartstring core, 13 1/4" and unbending flexibility.
An idea for a video could be ranking the most powerful people we've seen from other schools
ive taken a few different wand tests, and the pottermore one twice, i got Cypress wood with a unicorn hair core, 10 ¾" and rigid flexibility and Elm wood with a unicorn hair core, 11 ¼" and quite bendy flexibility from the pottermore ones. another that gave all the info gave " ash with a snallygaster heartstring 11" rigid "
Ive just taken my first Wand Test now and I got English oak wood with a dragon heartstring core, 12 ½" and unbending flexibility
with all the different magical creatures in the world of Harry Potter, I am surprised there isn't more. Like taking a hair from a Niffler, might bring a person great wealth or might bring them great loss of wealth. Either way I would think a Niffler Hair would be a cool wand core, and the Hippogriff, would be an awesome wand core as well, very loyal to those that show respect, and I would think highly intelligent wands from the Hippogriff, And lets see, The Manticore, That might produce some interesting wands as well. There are just so many
To be fair, these 20 wand cores only seem to represent what is available to wizards in Europe, North America and Brazil. But what about wizards in Asia, Africa, Australia or the rest of Latin America? Surely there are more magical creatures from which to select a suitable core from for the witches and wizards living in these places. So worldwide there really must be well over 20 types of wand cores.
I think there could be a far greater number of core types. Any mythical, magical or powerful beast or even substance could be deployed to interact with a caster's inner abilities.
Maybe that's because wands are a European invention. African Wizards channel their magic with just their hands
Pretty sure dragon heart string is universal. Every world mythology has at least one mention of a dragon in it from Tiamat from Mesopotamia/ Babylonian to the Piassa of Louisiana in America

Mine was 12¼" Acacia wood with a Phoenix Feather. Unyielding. Meaning no one would be able to win it from me, as Acacia and Phoenix Feather are both choosy materials, and Acacia wood wands often simply refuse to work for anyone other than their master or mistress, so no other witch or wizard would even be able to use it lol.
I love the topic of wands and how they work with different materials and there loyalty it’s probably my most interested in topic for hp
Curious if one used a Dementor's hair or wrapping as a core, obviously dark wizard, but would be interesting to find out what each core would do if they came from creatures or entities not listed, and I bet there's Banshees as well that could be used for cores.
Going by how ordinary shell can be used a wand core, I’m guessing that any ordinary bone can be used as a core too and not just bones of magical creatures or humans. Going by this, I wonder what would happen if a muggle who is very knowledgeable about the magical world, were to make a wand for himself/herself using one of their own bones as a core? Say he/she lost their pinky toe in an accident but they used the bone inside to make a wand. Would the wand still knock the muggle backwards or would it allow the person to wave it and use it because the wand is quite literally an extension and a part of the muggle? Granted even if it didn’t kickback against him/her nothing would probably still happen because a wand is just a tool to channel magic from the magical human/creature. And if that human has no magic in them then a wand is just a stick.

Applewood wands are not made in great numbers. They are powerful and best suited to an owner of high aims and ideals, as this wood mixes poorly with Dark magic.
